2021 MISSION DECLUTTER and CLEAN

Mrs_Salad_Dodger

Sounds like a furry vampire, boultdj 😉 Crucifix & sunshine appear to work 😂

Welcome aboard our fleet of Charabancs, Brambling 👋 Very impressed with your 2020 decluttering 👏 - usable garage & empty loft  🤩  Could the 8 bags for life of cs donations be stored in the car ready for the first available opportunity to deliver? Or maybe there is enough space to store them in the garage? I take it the desire to move farther away from the kitchen means that there are a few Lockdown lbs to be decluttered 😉🙂 

There are a lot of us in the SABLE Club 🤭

Welcome back IrishRose12 👏 Sorry to hear that you are having such a miserable time ☹️ but very impressed that you still managed to clear lots of clutter 👏😇
Re the ....... (insert appropriate word 😉) unfortunately their decisions & pronouncements are turning me into Mrs Angry 😤 which of course is not good for my blood pressure 😖  If they do not cancel their decision, could you get signed off until such time as you receive the vaccine? Your targets are duly noted & your plans for 2021 sound eminently doable 🙂 
If you sort your bedroom out first (1 & 5) it would lead to a start on the attic clear out 😉

Merry Christmas everyone & here is to a far better 2021 🙂

Morning MrsSD, just stumbled across this thread for 2021. Yes count us in, I'll try and keep in touch more which hopefully should result in more decluttering, here's hoping 🤞🤞👍👍 Am hoping that at some point next year, car boot sales get back up and running. Looking through photos with my daughter yesterday and we last took part in such an event in February 2020. Feels like a lifetime ago. The attic is still as cluttered as ever as our daughter keeps growing up and consigning things she doesn't need up there. So it needs to be brought back under control. Hopefully, we will have our bedroom decorated next year, been saving up over this year by throwing money into the sealed pot, approx. 500 pounds so will continue on that until Eastertime. Decorating a new room is a perfect excuse for a declutter. My wife's mental health has not been great this year, so am hopeful of better times ahead as we go into 2021. And by the way I'm impressed with your gardening successes this year, I discovered growing your own this year, so am looking forward to more of the same next year through being part of our gardening group and growing at home through containers. Best wishes.... 🙂

Glad you found us leelad 🙂 
Fingers, toes, eyes & every appendage that can be crossed 🤞 are crossed 🤞 that 2021 is a far better year than 2020. I must admit I have missed your tales of early morning boot sales with your daughter 😉 Hopefully pitch fees will be greatly reduced when normal service resumes - just to entice everyone back 🤞😉 Sorry to hear your good lady wife is struggling - unfortunately she is not alone ☹️ 

I am very impressed with your savings pot & hopefully there will be a little left over for a treat for the 3 of you 🤞
I would bet a pound to a penny, that you never thought you would be part of a gardening group 😉 It is so satisfying when you can pick your own hg produce 🙂 doesn’t it always taste so much better than sm produce? Being quite nosy 😂 what are you growing? & is your daughter helping you?
I hope the 3 of you have a wonderful Christmas 🎄

Morning all

I'm in properly again this year.  Few big decisions on the horizon for us re moving house - will we/won't we, whether I continue doing dogs this year or give it up, if continuing I need much better paperwork systems, whether Mr daisy decides to venture back into the world of work at all or continues being retired.  I also want to finish a few crafty projects rather than keep them around half finished but thats more a fun target.  There is also an attic groaning at the joists with Stuff.  If we don't move we need to decide once and for all whether to make it easier to access and more room-like so easily useable rather than freezing/roasting dep on season and dusty/cobwebby/gritty all over all the boxes of Stuff.

I had a burst of activity towards the end of this year so on the surface the house looks a lot better.  All the Stuff that has washed up on surfaces and round the edges of rooms over the last year has been picked up, looked at, put in its proper place or got rid of.  I know of a quote that says mess is just a decision postponed.   So true.  Things get laid down to 'decide later'.  I'm determined to stop that.  Make the decision now, handle things once etc etc.   Like lots 2020 has been the year of the lovely garden but the house was only seen by the 2 of us so it really didn't matter.  Thats a terrible attitude dont you think?  Who should it matter to more than the people who live in it?  

Anyhow, thats enough from me I think.  

Merry Xmas and heres to 2021

Merry Christmas all.
I am so keen to get started that it is as if 2020 never happened already!
This morning I put all the gift bags,nice tags and reusable Christmas paper in their drawer.I threw out some past it embelishments and tags.
With presents I got a surprise new laptop as mine shuts itself down every 15-30 seconds/will only let me view a very few select things! Also a phone case some lovely soap and hand cream,some face cream and some chocolates which I sent home yesterday with my Mother. Perfect haul for me.It actually upsets me to recieve gifts that are a waste of money (in my eyes).I did also have some money and have bought a new handbag from the chazzer and some perfume.
So here I am champing at the bit ready for the off.
We are also will we /won't we move next year.We thought we would move to start a new buisness earlier this year and prepared the house to sell but it didn't come off. I would still like to move.The village we live in is nice but I enjoy renovating property.( Long suffering husband hates moving and DIY)
My aims this year are £s gained and lbs lost. As I declutter further I will try to sell things to raise some cash.My son should get married in April,only 15 weeks.I would like to have shed 30lbs by then.
We didn't over cater for yesterday so not much to eat up then for both of us a cleaner diet.
Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Thank you for the kind words MrsSD, it's appreciated 🙂👍 On the subject of grow your own, we grow from containers (no garden). Successes so far this year have been potatoes, radish (very small), carrots, tomatoes, salad leaves and a couple of small strawberries. And yes my daughter does help a lot with the potting and transplanting side of things. We also are members of the local gardening group. This year has been trial and error which is the best way, looking forward to more of the same next year 🙂

I'd love to join, I want to declutter everything before moving out early next year & then I want to keep it all tidy/organised.
Fresh new home, fresh me / us.

I am working on a list I need to declutter. Think I am just going to number the things i've completed.
List coming soon!

I’ve also started early for the new year. Car packed up for taking to the tip tomorrow. I’ve cleaned the pantry today and got rid of 3 bags of rubbish. Also got rid of a light up snowflake and a pair of boots and 18 pieces of clothes to clothing recycling. Adding in an old picture frame takes me up to 24 out of my 500 item target. I also managed to finally empty one of my many bottles of gin and cancel my monthly gin subscription to see if I can end 2021 with lass alcohol than I started the year with!
Hope everyone has has a lovely Christmas xx
